Could you build this?
Partial Building a basic disk treemap is straightforward, but correctly inspecting and safely handling macOS APFS snapshots, swapfiles, system data containers, and permissions requires specialized macOS systems programming.
What it would actually take: A real tool requires a native Swift/Objective-C app leveraging low-level macOS APIs (FileManager, DiskArbitration, and private/protected APFS system frameworks) along with Full Disk Access entitlements. The difficult parts involve accurately deciphering APFS sparse files, purgeable disk space, Time Machine local snapshots, and safely executing elevated-privilege deletion without bricking the operating system.
